my diagnosis of advanced cancer: how to help my kids

<p>I agree, Threekids. I am hoping that Sunrise is spending every moment with her precious boys and husband, and that she will be back when they return to school.</p>

<p>Sunrise: Been thinking of you and hope you are doing ok. I walked by MSK yesterday and was thinking how funny it would be if I knew you were there and decided to visit, but only could give them your CC name. How would I get in? How would I find you? Ask around for “sunriseeast?” As I was thinking about this, I was figuring that you weren’t there anyway, but instead at your home in NJ with your family. </p>

<p>Anyway, I wish for you a happy and healthier new year. Let 2013 be peaceful for you as you regain your strength and heal from all you have been through.</p>

<p>I always check this thread every time I sign on to CC…always hoping for an update from Sunrise.</p>

<p>Sunrise, you have a whole bunch of protective helicopters circling for you…</p>

<p>I thought early on sunriseeast mentioned that her family is Jewish, so she probably wasn’t overwhelmed with the holidays. Maybe I’m wrong. But yes, maybe she is spending time away from the computer, and with her family. Anyway, we wait and hope.</p>

<p>You are in my thoughts, sunrise.</p>

<p>It’s a snowy overcast day here in my area of Pennsylvania and I’m thinking of you Sunrise, and hoping that you are going to have a good weekend at home with your family, but sure wish you would pop in here and say helllllo! Spending a few moments in prayer.</p>

<p>Good morning, sunrise. I hope you’re doing well and enjoying the holidays.</p>

<p>You are in my thoughts and prayers</p>

<p>Adding my thoughts and prayers for sunrise and her family. I truly hope the silence can be attributed to being too busy to post.</p>

<p>Sending good wishes from the sunny desert southwest. Hoping you are having a good week.</p>

<p>More good wishes from the desert southwest. Hope you are doing well.</p>

<p>Wishing you peace and blessings, Sunrise.</p>

<p>Thinking of you, sunrise. Best to your family.</p>

<p>Dearest sunrise, I hope you are doing well and are just so busy with life that you don’t have time to post. </p>

<p>Last week, as I finished my 16 month chemo regimen, I thought of you and how much you have helped me. During my journey with cancer, I checked out ovarian cancer websites or generic cancer websites, but I always ended up feeling down after looking at things people had posted–and they didn’t have to be bad news. But you, sunrise, made me laugh, cry, think, wonder, admire, and become encouraged.</p>

<p>You have such a gift, sunrise, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing it with all of us–but especially for those of us battling ovarian cancer. I truly hope that your writings are published in some form or another, as they were such a help to me. </p>

<p>I wish I had your way with words so that you could truly know how much of a blessing you have been to others. Thank you so much.</p>

<p>HaveHope–</p>

<p>Wow, I admire you too…16 months is a long time.</p>

<p>Wishing you strength and peace and wellness and good health for this New Year too.</p>

<p>Havehope, congratulations on the end of your treatment. I hope the new year brings you good health and much happiness.</p>

<p>Thanks, boysx3 and kelsmom. I appreciate your good wishes. I hope everyone knows I’m not trying, in any way, to make this about me. I just want sunrise to know that her exceptional spirit and strength have been a beacon of light. As soon as I finished my last treatment, my thoughts went to her. I look forward to my body not having to fight so hard. I want her to have a rest, too. I hope we hear from her soon.</p>

<p>HaveHope: You are in no way hijacking this thread. This thread is about survival, spirit, information and love. And grace under the worst of circumstances. I wish all the good people here a healthy and healing New Year.</p>

<p>HaveHope, so glad for your good report. While I think we gather here to support sunrise and others through whatever comes, good or bad, good news is always welcome.</p>

<p>Sunrise, phone home when you can. We are all thinking of you.</p>
